REI’s textile recycling systems are built to handle everything from non-wovens and woven fabrics to carpet, insulation, upholstery scrap, and geotextiles. At the core are our high-torque industrial shredders, engineered to convert bulky textile materials into uniform fiber for recycling, repurposing, fuel applications, or secure destruction. Supported by conveyors, balers, and material-handling equipment, these systems give manufacturers, distribution centers, and reclamation facilities a reliable way to cut disposal costs, reclaim space, and improve overall processing efficiency.
Textile waste can be dense, elastic, multilayered, and prone to wrapping, requiring machinery that stands up to demanding fiber breakdown. Our industrial textile shredders feature reinforced cutters, abrasion-resistant components, and high-torque drives designed to process everything from thick carpet and padded upholstery scrap to delicate non-wovens and heavy geotextiles. Rugged construction and low-maintenance operation ensure dependable material reduction across a wide range of industrial textile applications.
Textile recycling requires equipment that can manage everything from loose fiber and offcuts to rolls, bolts, and dense industrial fabrics. The systems below work together to move, size-reduce, and prepare material so your operation runs cleaner, more efficiently, and with less manual handling. With the right combination of machinery, you can improve throughput, reduce waste volume, and create consistent material ready for reuse or further processing.
Compress and compact loose fabrics, offcuts, and fiber waste into manageable, space-saving bales that are easier to handle and transport.
Built for operations with steady textile waste streams, these balers produce uniform, high-density bales that reduce storage needs and streamline logistics.
Move lightweight fiber, trim waste, and dust directly from cutting or production areas into your recycling line, improving cleanliness and reducing labor.
Cut through tightly wound fabric rolls, selvage, and thick textile bundles with precision, allowing oversized materials to be processed efficiently.
